I think the answer to the following is 1. Can you please let me know if I am correct?
(5 - 6)³ + 14 ÷ (2 + 5)
1 + (14/7) = 7/7 + 14/7 = 21/7 = 3
but, (5-6) = -1, so we have
-1 + 14/7 = -1+2 = 1
To evaluate the expression (5 - 6)³ + 14 ÷ (2 + 5), we can follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction).
1. First, let's simplify anything inside parentheses:
(5 - 6)³ + 14 ÷ (2 + 5)
(-1)³ + 14 ÷ (2 + 5)
2. Next, let's evaluate any exponents:
(-1)³ + 14 ÷ (2 + 5)
3. Then, solve any multiplication or division, working from left to right:
(-1) + 14 ÷ (2 + 5)
(-1) + 14 ÷ 7
4. Finally, perform any addition or subtraction, again from left to right:
-1 + 2
1
So the answer to the expression (5 - 6)³ + 14 ÷ (2 + 5) is 1, not -1.
